One of the four plaintiffs named in the antitrust lawsuit targeting technology companies’ alleged anti-poaching agreements thinks the $324 million settlement by Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intel Corp. and Adobe isn’t tough enough and is asking the judge in the case to reject the deal, The New York Times reported.

Freelance programmer and former Adobe senior computer scientist Michael Devine wrote in a letter to Judge Lucy Koh that the settlement amount is only one-tenth of the estimated $3 billion the 64,000 workers lost in compensation due to the alleged conspiring of limited competition between tech firms and suppressed wages, according to the article.

“As an analogy,” he wrote, “if a shoplifter is caught on video stealing a $400 iPad from the Apple Store, would a fair and just resolution be for the shoplifter to pay Apple $40, keep the iPad, and walk away with no record or admission of wrongdoing? Of course not.”

The trial over whether tech firms colluded illegally to hold down wages was slated for the end of this month in San Jose. It isn’t clear whether the other three plaintiffs in the suit support Devine’s request, and any challenge will take months, the Times reported. Read more here about the anti-poaching settlement.
